I can't speak to much about Anakee 3 i do have them on my GSA now i have around 3000 miles on them maybe 300 off road, The Anakee 3s i have no issues with , Now i can speak about Anakee 2 that is what came on my bike i put 12500 on those tires , i could have gotten more miles but the front tire was starting to wear funny so i changed both (they didn't square off) , so with 12500 on the Anakee 2s the Anakee 3s am told are better so i'll see .

I took my Anakee III off of my '13 GSW at 7644 miles. Both front and rear had some life left, don't know how much. They were replaced due to a planned trip. My lack of experience with Anakee III tire longevity at the end of its life led me to be perhaps more cautious than usual.

I got 9,400 miles on the rear, although I would have replaced it sooner if I could have found one.....waited a month and a half and just did it three days ago. It was pretty squared off and definitely getting a bit squirrely on uneven pavement and tar snakes. I'd guess around 8,000 would be reasonable.

I expect to get around 12,000 to 14,000 from the front. EDIT: I just replaced the front at 10,000 and it was amost to the wear bars, so 12,000 is obviously too optimistic.

I just hit 6000 miles on my original A3s that came on my bike. Rear is showing signs of wear, maybe another 1500-2000 left and the front is looking pretty good! I do about 80% asphalt and 20% dirt. I'm sure I could get more mileage if I didn't air down to 25-30 each time I ride for an extended period of time or distance off road (more than just gravel roads) Probably going to change 'em both out for TKC 80s when I bring it in for it's service.

The Anakee III is a sticky tire and great for that reason. I wore a rear out at 3200 miles - high speed competitive rally. I wont buy another. The Michelin Pilot Road IV - now that is a different animal.

Pretty sure this is not normal behavior....this is the seal at the base of the filler and pretty clearly seems to be torn. The parts-fiche doesn't show anything that looks remotely like this (in terms of a gasket) so do I assume this is a part of the filler cap assembly that retails for nearly...

Hi there,
Just picked up a 1200GS from 17 this year, with not many Km on it, but what I did not realize when I bought it, was that the on board computer was not a pro one, meaning that it cannot communicate properly with the navigator VI I bought to go with the bike, there are some things I...

First and foremost thanks to all the contributors on the forum. While this is my first post I have spent many hours reading the postings and learning a lot in the process - thanks guys for all the knowledge you have shared.
On to my current challenge:
In short the clutch will not disengage from...

Hi,
My bike doesn't start and makes graze noise (kıgghhhh) or the battery has died. (tak tak tak)
But sometimes even if the first 3 tries fails, at 4th try it starts smoothly.
I changed the battery just in case but the problem still continues.
I took to the service and they said the...

I bought my 1250 GSA last spring. Everything was fine for a couple of months, then the bike started having starting problems. When I turned it on there was enough power to start the display/lights, but not enough to crank the starter. I charged the battery with a 5A trickle charger (out of the...
